Design and legalization of the performance tolerance test of the neck and shoulder lock grip on the rotary wheel for gladiators aged (15-17) years

Abstract

The importance of this research is evident as it seeks to design and legalise a new test that measures the tolerance of performance, holding the neck and shoulder lock in wrestlers aged (15-17) years using the rotating wheel, which contributes to filling a clear gap in the field of evaluating the special abilities of this category. Having a legalised test helps instructors obtain accurate data on the athlete's ability to produce repetitive strength while performing a neck and shoulder lock. It also helps in guiding the training process more scientifically, by determining the true level of the wrestler, following up the development of his abilities, and determining the type and intensity of the appropriate loads for him in the different stages of preparation. In addition, this test provides a tool that can be adopted in sports selection processes, and identifying the players who are most able to bear the burdens of competition, as for the research problem: The research problem is determined in the absence of a standardised test based on a scientific method and a suitable tool - such as the rotary wheel - to measure the tolerance of the performance of the neck and shoulder lock in wrestlers at the age of

(15-17) years, which makes the urgent need to design a new test and verify its validity and scientific characteristics to ensure its adoption in training, evaluation and development. The two objectives of the research were: 1- Design and legalisation of the performance tolerance test of the neck and shoulder lock grip on the rotating wheel for gladiators aged (15-17).

2- Finding standards and levels to test the performance of the neck and shoulder lock grip on the rotating wheel for wrestlers aged (15-17) years.

The descriptive method was used in the survey method. The research sample was for freestyle wrestling players in the specialised school in Basra Governorate and the Port Sports Club aged (15-17) years. After the design of the test, the most important conclusions were reached: that the test designed by the researcher is able to reveal the level of tolerance of the performance of the neck and shoulder lock grip on the rotating wheel of wrestlers aged (15-17) years. The most important recommendations were: the adoption of the current test as a means of detecting the level of tolerance of the neck and shoulder lock grip on the rotating wheel of gladiators aged (15-17) years.
